摘要

En 中文
Although poisoning is a significant health concern, when fears of poisoning become disproportionate to the actual risks, the results can be detrimental to both public health and that of the individual. When people become convinced that they are suffering ill effects of toxins, they may become symptomatic even when no exposure is present. Fear of poisoning may result in an acute outbreak of unexplained illness in many individuals at once, or manifest as a chronic condition wherein people remain symptomatic despite no apparent effects of toxicity Perceived poisoning may escalate medical costs, threaten commerce, and limit the availability of goods and services. Unfortunately, treatments have not been established that consistently limit the development and spread of perceived poisoning.
